Real Results

  • Katelyn L. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Nick is super knowledgeable on dogs and dog training. He made the process simple and gave us the ability and information to train them ourselves. You can tell he absolutely cares for each and every dog that comes to his training. That was important for us and he exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend him enough for any of your dogs’ needs. We went to Nick for training with both of our dogs for different things and both of our dogs showed great results and really enjoyed Nick. The puppy class was great and gave us good skills on how to socialize and train our puppy when we got him. Private lessons were also very informative and helpful. Our other dog was reactive to dogs, but after private lessons with Nick she does so much better and hardly reacts to dogs on walks now. It made a huge difference for her and for us. Again, we could not recommend The Canine Connoisseur more!!

Free Dog Training Consultations in Marion, Indiana 46953 Grant County Dog Training

Free Consultations

Before any training takes place, we first need to schedule an initial Consultation/Evaluation.

Every dog is unique, so every dog will require a different approach in order to meet his or her needs.

Our first meeting will give me an opportunity to properly evaluate your Dog as well as answer any questions you may have with no pressure to continue with training afterwards!

Evaluations take place outside at my location and are shorter in duration than a typical lesson rarely lasting longer than one hour.

At the end of the Evaluation, I will be able to suggest a plan that I feel would be most beneficial to you and your Dog. Whether or not you would like to proceed with this plan is your choice and you will never feel any pressure to continue training with me.

I believe you will find my methods, abilities, and results to be more than satisfying.
